Thrown From Car, He Ran After His Master Til His Legs Gave Out & He Collapsed

On a busy weekday morning, during the commute, Dion Cole was running late for work. However, this time running behind was a good thing as it changed the course of someone’s life that was in need of a kind soul.

On the highway in Michigan, Dion proceeded to his office. It was then he saw the unthinkable. A man driving in a vehicle ahead decided he no longer wanted his dog– so he threw him out. Instead of doing the right thing, like surrendering him to a rescue group or a shelter, he just cast him out right on the side of the dangerous roadway.

The dog, having no idea why this just happened, chased after his owner’s car. The whole ordeal was beyond heartbreaking. Dion pulled over and tried to get the dog to come inside his vehicle. But the dog was convinced that his owner would return for him.

The dog was afraid and cowered in the woods beside the highway. Dion tried again but it was of no use. The dog was simply unwilling to go with him. Dion called his wife, Danielle, to tell her what had just happened.

Danielle, understandably disgusted, took to Facebook and posted this:

“To the dirtbag that threw his dog out in the Allegan forest on 48th street Friday at about 3:30pm. Let me tell you what your dog went through, as you sped off your dog chased after you and ran has fast as his little legs would let him until his legs gave out and collapsed on the side of the road. My husband seen this all happen he stopped to help your dog but the little guys was so scared that he ran into the forest and hid. Later that evening we went to look for your dog he was right where you left him waiting for you to come back, once again he ran scared for his life. Saturday morning I took some treats and my dog in hopes that he would feel comfortable enough to come up to my dog. Well, he was thinking about but then someone else stopped to help and he ran back into the forest. A couple of hours later we were heading to the fair and I just couldn’t stop thinking about this poor little guy who was thrown from a car, lost, and confused so I decided I would take a bowl of food to him and leave it where he has been hanging out. Once I turned into 48th st there was a group of hunters, a nice family, and an older man trying to catch your dog. He was terrified but with patients and the help of a sweet little boy we were able to catch him. How could you throw your dog out like a piece of trash? This handsome little guy is so sweet and loving, he loves my kids especially my son, he likes my other dogs. I truly belive my husband was suppose to be running late that day so that he was able to see what you did. It’s just to bad he couldn’t get your plate number. You are a real scumbag and you will answer to what you did one day. PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE SO MAYBE THE DIRT BAG WILL SEE THIS POST.”

The Coles contacted local rescues and were able to return to the woods beside the highway and bait the dog. When they finally got him inside the dry warm car, he calmed down a bit. But of course, his distressing day would be a permanent trauma he would live with forever.

Finally safe and in good hands, the loyal dog went home with the rescue group. He found a new family in no time.

While his ordeal was far from fair, it was a blessing in disguise. If his owner could do this to him on a main road with so many to see, imagine what it was like behind closed doors! Now living a life filled with love– the ‘unwanted’ dog will never feel abandoned again.

Lucky Elderly Man Is Greeted Every Day By A “Friend” Who Crawls Out Of The Ice:

We’ve all seen some unique and unlikely friendships over the years, but this one here may take the cake!

One day, a starving otter appeared at an elderly man’s door wanting some food. Ever since, Seppo Laamanen, 65, and Iivari the otter have been inseparable best friends.

It all started when Seppo fed worms and fish to the small and malnourished otter who was clearly looking for food.

After that, the friendly animal repaid the kindness by visiting the man at his home in Punkaharju in easter Finland. This was the start of something special.

There’s no way Seppo could’ve ever imagined it’d all lead to this. This adorably unique friendship is one for the ages, and it’s something you have to see to believe.

There’s nothing like the bond between two friends regardless of the species! 🙂

10 Of The “Most Loyal” Dog Breeds On The Planet

Giving love and support to humans is something that some dogs do better than others.

While many dogs love everyone they meet and are willing to take treats or belly rubs from anyone, the pups we found are just the opposite.

These 10 dogs are some of the most loyal breeds on the planet. They are rock steady in their loyalty to their owner no matter what.

1) Akita

When the American Kennel Club (AKC) lists loyalty to describe the temperament of the Akita, you know they mean business. The beautiful double-coated working dog of Japanese ancestry is considered hardwired in protecting those she loves. They should be socialized with other dogs and people from the time they are puppies. Their silly, fun, but dignified personalities round out the loyal Akita.

2) Boxer

This working dog is smart, full of energy, and oh so loyal to their family. They get along great with kids and have an innate instinct to protect their pack. He’s a watchdog with a heart of gold who oozes dedication to his owner.

3) Skye Terrier

Known as the “small dog with the big ears,” this adorable breed hails from the Scottish Isle of Skye, hence the name. Whether you live in the city or the country, this small dog with a big personality is steadfast in snuggling, playtime, and remaining loyal to his owners.

4) Beagle

This merry hound is friendly, curious and incredibly loyal. While he doesn’t mind the occasional couch potato time, this spunky pooch is energetic and merry. A fun fact about this hound: the breed standard is for 13 inches and under and another in the 13-15 inch category. No matter how you size him, these adorable dogs just want to cling to you.

5) Shar-Pei

This wrinkly non-sporting breed is standoffish to strangers but very loyal to his owner. His ancient Chinese roots are part of the charm of the Shar-Pei. Regal, strong, and smart, if you want a BFF for life, this loose-skinned pooch may be the right choice for you.
